Trainer Rusty Arnold added, "She did run down a little bit on her right hind. I am disappointed. I really, really thought she was going to run big. It was kind of a disaster. I'm going to have to go back and re-assess and start over. I left things up to Edgar. I didn't want him to get caught up in a speed duel, so I told him to make up his own mind. He thought taking her back was the right thing to do."

Jockey Edgar Prado said, "This filly has been schooled in the mornings to take the dirt. I don't know what happened today. It seemed like she was going good."
